Oval brolly + overwrap I would say, it's a bit more flexible. You can use the brolly on it's own for days or nights, then add the overwrap for worse weather.
Don't ask what I've got, too many to list!!

Just bought an esp lo pro for days and its brilliant. Love the design and speed of it and loads of coverage.

Low Pro is great
I've got an ultralite now and that is perfect for overnighters and even longer sessions

Fast and light is the perfect brolly especially when you add some sides to it.

Not really 5.2 kg naked
But not overly heavy
I like my fast and lite but they are neither.
Add to the weight the storm poles that are needed even if it's the smaller side ones.

As mentioned below the fast and light isnt actually very light. I sold mine and got a lo pro which i think is much better. A lot cheaper, more coverage and dosent need any storm poles on the side.

Tempest 100.
Light enough, good coverage, rigid with no additional poles, chuck a front only when needed.

I've used brollies for years, I've had groundhog, lo-pro and fast & light.
I've recently changed to a fox frontier lite. It's more spacious and relatively quick to set up/pack away but if I'm honest I still prefer a brolly when the weather allows. Thinking about getting another lo-pro at some point. Awesome bit of list for the overnighters.

Nash groundhog good and loads of space at well under 4 kilo. They come up second hand quite often.
The latest Daiwa mission light and big enough

What is the height of the lo pro at both highest and lowest setting
Do you need to be a hobbit to get in and out?
That's the problem with most brollies now adays

Yep they're pretty low, but I don't mind d the compromise for the weight saving on short trips
